README.md

The Beginnings of a high-performance, low memory footprint VCD Viewer in Rust for massive multi-GB waveforms

Features

  • very fast
  • loads 200MB of VCD waveform per second on an 8 core 2017 desktop CPU with NVMe storage
  • consumes roughly between 10 - 50MB of memory per GB of waveform
  • elegant/pretty UI
  • can be easily ported to work in browser via webassembly
  • allows high-performance custom Rust plugins to manipulate and generate new waveforms live

Running

Make sure you have a test vcd file to get you started. You can grab a large VCD file from here.

The first build of the program may take some time.

cargo run --release test-vcd-files/aldec/SPI_Write.vcd

TODO

  • We need a way to merge lines.
  • We need to start regression testing the parser over all files
  • Take a look at GTKWave parser to compare effificiency.
  • Send survey to community channel.

  • move while loop into word yielding iterator
